The expression of space in drawing and painting—the convincing rendition of dimensionality and depth—is thoroughly explained in this instruction guide. With examples from Diego Velázquez, Johannes Vermeer, Edward Hopper, M.C. Escher, and many other artists, it analyzes the rules of perspective as employed in traditional landscapes or interiors, and also considers the purposeful absence of depth, as seen in works by Gustav Klimt and Piet Mondrian. Instruction concentrates on the use of light and shadow to enhance the illusion of dimension, and the employment of unusual points of view to emphasize vertical structures, dramatic body poses, and extraordinary views in landscapes.
